WHAT FOODS THESE MORSELS BE

Nothing for Company? Some Emergency Dishes

By Sarah Lieber

We were talking about entertaining in winter time when the young people have vacations from school, and when cold evenings make it very nice to invite company to share the warmth of our living rooms. One friend said she always has something in the refrigerator or freezer ready for impromptu serving. Another mentioned that she keeps a few prepared

canned foods always on hand. Someone else mentioned the many times she had stretched the pound o f chopped beef meant for the hamburg - er lunch next day into sauces

Sarah for spaghetti or other main dish- es to serve a crowd. We ail agreed that it wasn't the amount of food, or even the flavor which means most to company. It is the warmth of our sharing. And if there is no food to be put out the joy of spending time together should mean more than the missed refreshment.

2 egg yolks 1 cup all purpose flour Cream the butter and sugar together. Stir in rind and yolks. Add flour and beat enough to blend. Pat into greated 10 inch square pan. Fill with desired fruit or nuts, jam or jelly. Bake 20 to 30 minutes depending on moisture of filling. Use a preheated 325 degree oven. Keeps well. Cut into squares or bars when ready to serve.

Stir m flour and blend. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Garnish each cookie if desired, using candied cherries, raisins, nuts or colored sugfrosting after cooling. Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove at once from pan. A WORD TO THE WIVES Have you . ever tried dipping sponge cake or white bread in sweetened condensed milk, then rolling in cocoanut and browning quickly in the oven? Good for leftover cake, or impromptu sweets when there’s no time for baking. Ingenuity and poise are the watchwords when the cupboard looks bare.

Miracles Performed For Some Women By Bar-Bat Mitzvah of Their Progeny

By HELEN COHEN 1 want to correct a detail in my recent account of changes in the bar mitzvah ceremony. Before the young man is called to the Torah, he and his father meet front and center on the pulpit (they have been seated on opposite sides of the pulpit beforehand). The father, who has been holding his son’s new tailis, now hands it to him and the son
